(On earth Troy and his crew where
in Ivory's fly pod.)(They had been flying for a couple of hours
now. Ivory was sitting at drivers seat controls. Next to him sat
Lei. In the back of the fly pod sat Nova, Sarah, Troy, Ricky,
Robert, and Rio.)

Ivory- Uh Oh

Troy- What is it Ivory

Lei- We seem to be low on
fuel.

Troy- What you didn't fuel up in
Philadelphia?

Ivory- Sorry it was hard to do
while the cops where chasing us Troy. We will just fuel up when
we get to Delaware okay.

Nova- Umm Ivory…

Ivory- Ya Nova.

Nova- There is no airport in
Delaware.

Ivory- WHAT! Well we got to turn
around.

Ricky- You won't make it back in
time to fuel up.

Robert- Plus umm the cops are
there.

Ivory- Oh Ya

Lei- Guess we got to press on and
then walk the rest of the way.

Ivory- I'm not leaving my fly pod
out in the middle of some rural area.

Lei- Looks like you don't really
have a choice buddy.

Nova- He's got a point
cowboy.

Ivory- Damn it.

( Back on Damon In James' tent) (
James was on his computer doing research on the war. Behind him
asleep in his bed was Strike) ( Hailey enters with a
folder)

Hailey- Prince James I think you
should read this.

James- What is it Hailey?

Hailey- Troy and Ivory have been
spotted on Earth. They are alive.

(Strike wakes up instantly upon
hearing this)( James pretends as if he didn't already know
this)

James- Oh umm. How did you get a
hold of such news.

Hailey- Dumen… King Jawran sent a
report out to all his Generals. I suspect you got it as well my
prince.

James- Oh umm…

(Strike sits up in his bed from
behind them.)

Strike- Tell her the truth James.
No need hiding it anymore.

Hailey- My prince… What is he
talking about?

James- Hailey (sighs) I know my
brother and Ivory are still alive. We just didn't know where they
had gone so we keep hush until we found out.

Hailey- Why did you not tell me
about this my Prince?

James- I didn't want to tell you
that you where in love with a traitor.

( Hailey's face has a very hurtful
look upon it.)

Hailey- Oh well okay. Well since we
are revealing traitors. I thought I should tell you something my
Prince.

James- Yes Hailey.

Hailey- You have been working with
a traitor. As a matter of fact you have been working very closely
with him. You two even sleep in the same tent.

James- What! You mean
Strike.

(Strike stands up
aggressively)

Strike- Hold Your tongue young lady
what do you dare accuse me of.

Hailey- His real name is Muhammad
Manvear. Earth region Saudi Arabia. He was recognized for his
exceptional combat skills and pulled out of basic training and
put into the Jawran Military Academy. That is where he meet his
roommate a man by the name of Matthew Jeter Light Infantry Earth
Region Germany. Muhammad and Matthew became close friends in
their training mission together but when they graduated they had
to go their separate ways. In the initial attack on Damon Mr.
Jeter's pod what shot down and he was badly injured and could not
move. He was doomed to die in the dry unforgiving Damon desert.
That is until he was rescued by one man. (Pauses) Your
brother.

James- What does
this have to do with Strike, Hailey!?

Hailey- Don't you
see James. Lisa ordered Strike to kill Troy, yet Troy lives. He
let Troy escape with his life because he looked up to Troy for
saving his best friends life. There is no other
way.

James- Strike do you
have an explanation for this.

(Strike stood with
his head hung low)

Strike-(sigh) I
couldn't kill him James.

James- For now on
you address my as Prince James now kneel! (Strike Knelt to one
knee) You hypocrite, you scumbag traitor you aided the escape of
the most threading crew of men and women to the Jawran
Empire.

Strike- I did it in
the honor of my friend.

(Yelling in
anger)

James- And for him
you betrayed you're the Jawran Empire.

Strike- No! I did it
because it was an order from my Princess.

James- What?
Princess no. Do not dare bring my dear Aken into
this.

Strike- She did what
she felt was best for the empire.

James- Explain
yourself.

Strike- My prince I
am a royal guard. That's what I do. I guard the royal family and
I only take orders from the royal family only! Do you really
think I would take an order from Lisa.

James- Rise solider.
Are you trying to say Aken gave you the order to kill
Troy.

(Strike begins to
have a flash back)( In the flash back he is seen talking to
Lisa)

Strike- I take
orders from the royal family only.

Lisa- Well think
about it this way my boy. Kill them tonight in their sleep and
you will be paid richly just think about it for me
okay.

(Lisa
exits)

Strike- She's a
snake in the grass.

Aken Jawran- Yes she
is. (Strike turns and sees Princess Aken Jawran)

Strike- Princess
Aken.

Aken Jawran- Royal
Guard Strike. I have an order for you.

Strike- Anything for
you my Princess.

Aken Jawran- Follow
Lisa's order.

Strike- What
why?

Aken Jawran- But let
them escape.

Strike-
What?

Aken Jawran-You see
Sir guard you could go to my father as you where probably about
to do and tell him what Lisa just told you. And all that would
happen is that he would yell at her and that would be that. But…
If she tremendously screws up and her order actually leads to
their escape. My father might fire her. Then he won't have a
little birdie singing in her ear to continue this pointless war.
This should be easy enough for you to do Sir guard. I have heard
you are quite fond of Troy.

Strike- Umm Yes
Princess Aken he saved a good friend of mind.

Aken Jawran- Then
pay him back the favor set him free.

Strike- Very well
Princess Aken but what if Lisa becomes suspicious.

Aken Jawran- I will
deal with her.

(Flash back is over
back) (Still on Damon Strike is trying to explain himself to
Hailey and James)

James- What did she
mean by "I will deal with her"

Strike- My Prince
your little Aken isn't as innocent as you may think. You haven't
figured it out? Lisa just disappeared off the face of Jawran.
Aken killed her and I was their to cover it up.

(Back on Earth Troy
and his crew stand outside Ivory's fly pod because it has ran out
of gas. Everyone is preparing to make the rest of the trip on
foot. All expect for Ivory. Who is trying to fix the
ship.)

Ivory-(yelling) You
got to be kidding me! Damn It (throws wrench to the
ground)

Lei- It's out of gas
Ivory not broken. You coming or not.

Ivory- You have any
idea how much this fly pod cost me and we are just going to leave
it out here in the middle of no where.

Lei- Not like anyone
is going to use it. It's out of gas.

(Ivory walks over to
the rest of the group)

Ivory- How much
farther till we get to this village Troy?

Troy- It's on the
other side of these woods.

(Troy points at the
heavily wooded area ahead. As like most forest in Delaware the
woods where dark and the trees grew so close together it made it
hard to walk.)

Ivory- You realize
something in there is going to try to kill us.

Rio- Probably. Is
the great Jawran scared.

(The group sets foot
into the woods.)

( Back On Neptune
Captain Mendo and her crew are inside their ship eating another
fish that the Neptune natives have brought them. That's the door
to the ship open and five Neptune natives came in. Four of them
held spears. Their blue fish like bodies seemed to glow in the
dark ship. The fifth Neptune Native stood on front of the other
four with a blue pad like slate in his arm.)

Crew member- What's
going on here.

Murphy- They came to
kill us.

Mendo- Hold on their
Murphy. (slowly) We… mean… you…no…harm.

( That's when the
native spoke in their language for the first time Mendo an her
crew was shocked. Though the native couldn't speak human language
well. The native spoke very slow and his words where choppy and
pronounced a little oddly.)

Mendo- He was saying
that's why you where watching us. To learn how we
talk.

Nall- This is true,
Yes.

Murphy- Well damn
that's great I thought they where going to kill us.

Nall- Umm… What is
Damn?

(Murphy
giggles)

Murphy- Wow umm we
have a lot to teach you.

Mendo- I am Captain
Mendo what do you call this planet of yours Nall.

Nall- This is our
home Nefoon. Why are you here.

Mendo- Well we got
lost on our way home and crashed here.

Nall- You want to go
home.

Mendo- Very much
so.

Nall- If we fix your
ship for you. Will you show us your home.

Murphy- Captain
permission to speak freely.

Mendo- What is it
Murphy?

Murphy- We know
nothing about their people I'm not sure that would be
wise.

Mendo- They have
feed us and gave us water. I assume this is because they are
interested in use and our civilization. If we deny them that they
might kill us then. (Captain Mendo turns to Nall) We would be
happy to show you our planet.

( Back on Earth Troy
and his crew are walking through the forest. )

Ivory-Damn it's
Trees, trees and more trees. What a pain

Rio- I think it is
quite beautiful actually.

Sarah- It's just a
forest.

Troy- Damon is a
desert planet. She has never seen a forest before. Let alone been
inside one.

(Everyone but Ricky
and Robert runs ahead to see what Lei is talking
about.)

Robert- Looks like
your off the hook big bro.

( When the all
notice the Cabin this all rush over towards it. When they arrive
Troy knocks on the door)

Troy- Hello is
anyone their.

( Ivory pushes on
the door and it opens up. Then he enters.)

Lei- Ivory what are
you doing you can just walk into someone's house.

Ivory- Calm down Lei
buddy this place is probably abandoned.

( Everyone else then
enters ) ( They cabin is a small one room with a bed and
stove)

Sarah-
(sarcastically) Cozy in here huh.

Nova- Umm guys I
don't think this place is abandoned.

Rio- What makes you
think that?

Nova- The stove is
on.

( A voice is heard
from the door way)

Daniel- What are you
doing in my cabin

( The group turns
and sees probably the last thing they expected to see on the
planet Earth. A full blooded Cat beast Demon. His voice deep and
his body was still massively large. Yet his mane was starting to
grey. Though he was still very large and fierce looking you could
also tell he was rather old.)

Sarah- What is
that.

(step forward and up
to the beast. A certain elegance comes out that she has not shown
the rest of the group until now)

Rio- This is a full
blooded cat beast demon. (She touches his mane) One of the proud
natives of Damon. What is your name fellow Damon.

(Daniel is shocked
to see his princess in his own house. He immediately falls to one
knee.)

Daniel- My princess
I am Daniel.

Rio- Strange… You
have a human name.

Daniel- I have
disregarded my Damon name my princess. For I do not deserve
it.

Rio- What have you
done to loss your name?

(Daniel lifts his
head and looks into his Princess' eyes)

Daniel- I am here my
Princess. Don't you see I am a runner.

Rio- You fled Damon
because of the war.

Daniel- Yes a
decision in which I regret every day. ( He raises his hands) But
I see you have come to retrieve me and I accept my
punishment.

Rio- Umm Well
actually Daniel that's not the reason I am here please sit I have
a lot to explain to you.

( Back on Damon Ren
is in his room. When there is a knock at the door. Ren answered
it and it was Jalt)

Jalt- The Queen
wises to speak to you my prince.

(Ren and Jalt make
their way to the Queens throne room. Where they see Queen Oken
and a milky way galaxy police officer.)

Ren- What is going
on here mother.

Queen Oken- I
thought you would want to read this my son.

(Queen Oken lifts
her hand showing a piece of paper. Ren walks up to her and takes
it and begins to read.)

Ren- It's just a
notice for the Milky War Fighters Tournament.

Milky Way Officer-
It states that neither Damon or Jawran well be competing this
year.

Ren- What!
why?

Milky Way Officer-
By rules of the Tournament no two planets at war may enter the
Tournament. You know this Prince of Oken. Probably for the best
since you might kill someone else live on universal
television.

Jalt- Do not
disrespect the Prince Officer.

Queen Oken- Ren I am
calling for a cease fire so that you may enter the
tournament.

Ren- Good be nice to
get those Jawran scumbags off this planet.

Milky Way Officer-
Actually by Articles of War. Those lands that the Jawran's have
captured now be long to Jawran, and they do not have to
leave.

Ren-
What!

Queen Oken- Ren!
Forget about that right now. You winning this tournament in a
respectful and honorable way may be the boost of morale that our
planet needs. Will you do this Ren?

Ren- (Looks at the
officer, Jalt, and his mother.)(sigh) Yes Mother I
will.

Milky Way Officer-
Well if that's the case you better find a partner because this
year is a doubles tournament.

(Back on another
Part of Damon James is in his military base reading the same
paper while Dumen and Hailey stand over his
shoulder)

Dumen- So who are
you going to choose as a partner then?

James- It doesn't
matter King Jawran won't call for the cease fire.

Dumen- True he will
probably be against it, but you know the J.E.S.G. will over rule
him.

James-
True.

Dumen- So who will
you choose as a partner then.

James- I don't know
who would be a good enough warrior to repersent
Jawran.

Hailey- James that
should be obvious. Pick Strike.

James- What!? I
would never work with him.

Dumen- I know what
is going on between you two, but you must admit he is the finesse
warrior Jawran has to offer. (pause) Next to you of course my
Prince.

Hailey- You have a
much better chance of beating Ren and who ever he chooses with
Strike by your side.

James- Well… I
suppose your right.

( Back On Earth
night has fallen upon the sky. The full blooded cat beast Demon
stood outside his cabin with Rio. Daniel felt like he had
betrayed his planet and didn't feel that he had the right to even
be in the presence of Princess Rio.)

Rio- Everyone is
asleep thank you for letting us stay here.

Daniel- My princess
it was the least I could do for you.

Rio- Daniel I must
ask even though I know it will be hard for you but, why did you
run.

Daniel-(sigh) I am
not young my princess. When I was draphted at first I was scared.
I had a family to take care of. Then I had gotten a letter that
my home town of Dankle had been destroyed by Jawran C.C.s. My
wife and kids all dead. That's when commander Jalt took control
of our platoon.

Rio- Commander Jalt
that's the highest ranking full blooded catbeast demon in the
Damon army. I know him he is my brother's right hand
man.

Daniel- Yes he is.
He wanted to defend the city of Gertland. But I felt I know
longer had anything to fight for. Defending Gertland was a sucide
mission anyways but Jalt told us that our deaths would be
nessary. I didn't want to die. I didn't feel like it was even my
war to fight anymore. So I stole a fly pod and fled to Earth.
(sigh) What a fool I am. A fool and a coward.

Rio- Daniel there is
a way you can reclaim your honor.

Daniel- My princess
I have done the worse thing someone can do to their planet. I do
not think reclaiming my honor is possible.

Rio- Not even if I
made you my royal guard.

(Daniel cat like
ears shoot up as he looks at Rio)

Daniel- I do not
deserve that honor My princess. I'm rather old, not very well
trained and…

Rio- It says in the
Deleration of Damon that the royal family must have a Damon royal
guard with at all times. As you can see none of the people I am
with have even a quarter if Damon blood in them so you get the
job by default.

Daniel- My Princess
I…

Rio- Daniel You
don't have a choice. You must follow my orders I am you
Princess.

(Daniel Kneels to
Rio)

Daniel- Yes Princess Rio. I will
protect you on this journey I know it has been hard the young
human Troy explain everything to me in much detail.

Rio- Troy (grunts) I'm hate
him.

Daniel- I was unpleased with him
aswell when he told me that he had killed the King your father.
Yet when I read his energy he seemed like a very kind creature.
Not of the murderous type. I belived him when he told me he did
not want to kill King Oken.

Rio- Well I didn't.

Daniel- Why!? Could you not read
his energy?

Rio- Yes I read his energy. I just
still don't belive him. He tries to come off as a good person. I
just know a Jawran could never be a kind hearted person
especially the one who killed my father and kidnapped my mother
and I. He broke my arm to ya know.

Daniel- That was to refrain from
killing you a promise he made your father.

Rio- Ya well I still don't like
him.

( The net morning came and everyone
was standing outside the cabin and was ready to leave.)

Daniel- I know these woods like the
back of my paw I will get you all out of here in know less then a
day.

( Sarah looks at Ricky)

Sarah- It will be good to be lead
around by someone who knows where their going for once.

(Nova and Ivory walk by
Ricky)

Nova- Sorry my man she can be like
that sometimes.

Ivory- Feisty though ain't see and
kinda cute

( Lei comes along behind Ivory
pushing him forward )

Lei- That's enough Ivory.

( They finally make it out of the
forest and onto the plains of Delaware their destination wasn't
far away now. That's when Ivory accidentally stepped on something
and heard it cracked he picked it up and it was a CD
case.)

Ivory- What the hell is
this?

Robert- Oh that's a music CD those
things are ancient. I have only seen them in history
books.

Nova- Looks to be a rap CD.

Ivory- what's that mean.

Nova- Rap is a old style of music.
If you could be able to say words in a poetic rhyming form that
would mean you could rap.

Sarah- He is from Jawran Nova he
doesn't understand Earth racism Nova.

Nova- Oh ya.

Ivory- What is racism ?

Lei- Nova I think you asked enough
questions.

Nova- No it's okay I think he
deserves to know why I snapped on him. Racism is when you don't
like someone or assume something about someone just because of
their lifestyle or the way they look.

(Ivory then has a sudden flash back
of when he was talking to Hailey)

Hailey- Is it really that
wrong.

Ivory- (Screaming) YES IT
IS!

Hailey- You realize if you and I
would have lived back in those times where skin tone mattered
people would have killed us for loving each other.

(Then Ivory came back to.)

Ivory- Nova buddy I have a
question.

Nova- What is it?

Ivory- Was their ever a time on
this planet where people your skin tone would be able to date
people my skin tone. I mean I know that sounds stupid but I was
just wondering… (chuckles)

Sarah- Yes Ivory their was such a
time. Back before the time of the Tree of Eden back even before
Earth's world wars. Their was a time in which skin tone made that
much of a difference.

Ivory- What!? But that's just
silly.

Nova- Well a lot of people think
the reason you and Damon are fighting is silly.

Rio- Fighting (huff) the Damon
people aren't fighting we are protecting what is ours. Jawran's
are evil people and it's just in their nature to try to kill
anything that's not like them. They all should be
destroyed.

Nova- Just assuming that all
Jawran's are killers. See Ivory's that's a perfect example of
racism.

Lei- Ya, I mean she's
understandably upset but even though she can read emotions and
see that Troy isn't lieing when he said he didn't want to kill
her father. She honestly still doesn't believe him because he is
a Jawran.

Nova- It's sad. Why where you so
curouis anyways?

Ivory- O well just nothing…

Lei- Wouldn't have anything to do
with Haiely would it cowboy.

Ivory- (Lie) No!

(Lei looks to Nova)

Lei- Ivory's girl friend from
Jawran is your complextion Nova.

Nova- oh really Alright
Cowboy.

Ivory- She's not my girlfriend just
a friend.

Sarah- Please Ivory you can see it
all over your face that that's not true. I don't need to fancy
Damon emotion magic to even know that. Kind of glad though I was
starting to think you where some type of horn dog. You probably
miss her though.

Ivory- Well

Robert- Don't worry Ivory if anyone
knows how you feel it's Sarah. Her boyfriend was kidnapped by the
Queen of evil.

Ivory- Really!?

Sarah- Thanks jack ass for laying
out my business like that. But anyways ya that's how Nova and I
meet. He hates the Queen of Evil for putting the curse on his
family. I hate the bitch for taking my man and brainwashing him
to be her damn servant. (calling out to) Hey Ricky, Robert want
to make me a deal?

Ricky, Robert- What?

Sarah- If I ever get a chance and
you help me kill the Queen of Evil. I will help you kill the King
of Evil for murdering your father.

Ricky- That's a deal.

Robert- Hell ya!

Daniel- there it is

(pointing to a small huddle of
houses. Troy is happy to finally see this place.)

Troy- That's where the boy is I am
suppose to find. I know it.

Rio- Ya well it is getting late so
we will see your little boy friend in the morning. We are setting
camp here.

Troy- What are you serouis the town
is right their off into the distance.
